The Giant Egress

And now for something we hope you'll really like....

Here are my heroes:

• Mary McCool, personal friend and author of this little essay: The Road Not Taken - The CSI link is working again, so you can check out Mary's weekday column "Stuff" (one of the inspirations for this site). UPDATE: Stuff has been on hiatus for quite a while, and Mary doesn't hang out on CSI as often as she used to, but the forum is still worth checking out.

More Stuff:

• You can get cool comics and collectibles at Mary's husband's online comic shop Cool Rob's Cyber Collectibles. (And no, I don't get a commission here, either, it's just that Amazon.com thing, and that's only if you feel like it, honest.) UPDATE: The link is broken; I'm trying to find out what the new link, if any, should be.
• My friend Katie Fritz has Dances with Redshoes, a fan-fiction page, mostly Star Trek: Voyager with some X-Files. This is also the home of Captain Jinx's award winning Voyager fan-fiction. Katie also co-maintains the alt.startrek.creative fan-fic main archive site; you can submit your fan-fiction by mailing it to submissions@webamused.com.
• Joshua Quagmire, creator of Cutey Bunny (original inspiration for my rating of "Gosh-a-rooty!"), has moved his web-site to . Worth a look-see, for the Cutey calendar and a bunch of new stuff.   Love that bunny!

Here are the official sites for some of the publishers mentioned:

• Antarctic Press, publishers of Gold Digger and Ninja High School
• Viz Comics, publishers of Ranma 1/2, Maison Ikkoku, and Inu Yasha: A Feudal Fairy-Tale
• DC Comics. Not much that DC publishes if of interest to me at the moment, so check out instead. Wildstorm is now part of DC, and they publish Top Ten, Promethea and other cool stuff
• Exhibit A Press, publishers of Wolff & Byrd: Counselors of the Macabre. Copies of the Wolff & Byrd collections are available in the Bookstore.
• Mark Crilley has his very own Akiko Page. Double yay!
